https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05GJedebJqs

Here in video no.1, cherome while act or pretend that he is a beggar and ask some people to give
him foods because he is hungry and since he is a beggar he has no money to buy his own food so
he decided to go to a fast food chain. This video shows how people reacted when he came to
them and ask for food since his wearing dirty clothes and filthy, some people are afraid of him,
some are avoiding him and some people are talking to him, but after that one of the crew in that
fast food chain went to him and gave him a burger. This video shows that despite of cherome’s
look there are still people willing to give him food and help him even if he is not recognized.

On the second scene Marichu was roaming around Sangadaan Market . While walking, she never
knew that her wallet fell into the ground and the guard immediately noticed it . The guard grab it
then he suddenly bring it back to Marichu . She said "thank you" to the guard for being honest in

In the third scene, our classmate pretended that his money was lost and then he seek for the help
of the guard. The guard gave him 10 pesos in order for him to ride a jeep to navotas. We will
able to see here the kindness and the willingness of the people to help one person in need with no
doubt.
 Video #4: “Asking for directions”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05GJedebJqs

On this scene, we've seen a girl (Carla) who asked for a way and the person helped her. The
scene proves that there is still someone who's willing to help and give a hand. Though some of us
experienced the other way around, we should not generalized and think that all person won't give
a hand whenever someone asked him/her for a help. Hence, we should be a living example and
help others to the extent of what we could do and capable to do.
 Video #5: “Asking for help”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05GJedebJqs

In this scene, a girl crossing the road accidentally slipped, then a boy came by to help her. This
shows that helping others is one of the good culture of every Filipino. They offer their help to
others who are in need. Even to those people they didn’t know, they are willing to help. Like
what we have seen on the video, the boy who doesn’t actually know the girl still manage to offer
his help. The video was just an evidence that Filipinos were obviously willing to help others who
are really in need. Still there were some from us that are just pretending that they are in need to
gain pity from others. As a result others are refusing to help like what we have witnessed from
the other scene. But despite of some people rejecting others to help, we should believe that there
were still a lot of people who are open to help others as long as they can
